My spirit appeared on the road to exile, and I was treated as an ancestor.

Chapter 65 Gu Xingzhao's Embarrassment

It was past nine o'clock that night when Gu Xingzhao went to the ancient site to retrieve the table and the heel stand, as these items were quite large and inconvenient for Lu Qing and the others to carry while traveling.

Before leaving, she checked on Lu Xingyan. He was sleeping soundly, so it seemed that the Marrow Cleansing Pill was indeed a good thing, with no adverse reactions.

However, Gu Xingzhao, who hadn't checked the back-end system panel, had no idea that Lu Xingyan hadn't been unresponsive after taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill; rather, he had overreacted and fainted.

He looked exactly like someone fast asleep.

As Gu Xingzhao emerged from the tent, he saw Liu Xiangbai sitting by the embers of a campfire not far away, warming himself with the remaining heat, his fingertips occasionally rubbing the red string on his wrist.

So he was missing his wife and daughter.

Her heart stirred slightly, and she opened the system shop, spending 3 offering points to exchange for a Dream-Entering Eye Mask for Liu Xiangbai. Anyone who has someone they miss can see that person in their dreams as long as they wear this eye mask.

She wrote a note and sent it, along with the blindfold, to Liu Xiangbai.

Suddenly something appeared in his hand, startling Liu Xiangbai. The note read: "Use this to cover your eyes while sleeping, and you will be able to meet the person you are thinking of in your dreams."

The only one capable of sending something like this out of thin air at a time like this is the deity of the Lu family.

His hand holding the blindfold trembled slightly, his heart was pounding. The object in his hand looked like just a piece of cloth to cover his eyes, and it didn't feel special to him. Could this thing really allow him to see the person he was thinking about?
The deity of the Lu family always manifests his power, which is awe-inspiring, and the gifts he bestows are never fake.

But Liu Xiangbai dared not use it, fearing that after seeing it and waking up, he would face even more disappointment.

But he really missed his wife and daughter, so much so that he was in a daze every day, lacking energy and unable to eat.

Seeing Liu Xiangbai's hesitant expression, Gu Xingzhao was a little confused. If he missed him, then he should see him. What was there to hesitate about?
Liu Xiangbai gripped the blindfold tightly, silently telling himself, "Just once, only once."
He got up and left the campfire, sat down next to his tribesmen, pondered the blindfold for a moment, hooked the two straps around his ears, covered his eyes, leaned against the tree trunk, and slowly fell asleep.

When Gu Xingzhao saw him finally put on the blindfold, she smiled. In the past, she would not have done such a thankless task, but ever since the Lu family exchanged those two pairs of earrings for more than 200,000 yuan, she has understood a principle: do good deeds and don't worry about the future.

Of course, she wasn't the kind of person who selflessly gave; rather, she firmly believed in good fortune. Even if good fortune didn't come, she would still collect what she needed, just like she collected the consultation fee from Yu Heng.

At this moment, the system's voice sounded: "[The Dream Entry Eye Mask function has been activated, and monitoring services have been enabled. Thank you for using this service.]"

Gu Xingzhao was stunned. What regulatory service?
[Host, the Dream Mask is equipped with a youth anti-addiction health monitoring system that can monitor and block any non-healthy behaviors.]

Gu Xingzhao's silence was deafening. The person who designed this eye mask was really thoughtful. The young couple was reunited in their dreams, and they even put in an anti-addiction monitoring system.

[The live monitoring video has been successfully transmitted. Please check it promptly.]

Gu Xingzhao waved his hands repeatedly in refusal, saying, "I don't have that kind of fetish for spying on young couples having a get-together."

She picked up the table and chairs again, preparing to leave.

In the dead of night, everyone was asleep except for the night watchmen, but Gu Xingzhao saw Du Hangwu suddenly come out of the tent and walk towards a secluded place.

A question suddenly arose in her mind: what was Du Hangwu doing in the middle of the night?
Alarm bells rang in my mind: Could it be that the man surnamed Du is brewing some shady conspiracy?!
She hesitated for a moment, torn between whether or not to follow them and find out what was going on.
Just as Gu Xingzhao put down the table and chairs, deciding to follow Du Hangwu to check on the situation, and took a step out, the system notification sounded: [Target is constipated; host is not advised to proceed.]

"..." At this moment, Gu Xingzhao could even carve out a courtyard house on the spot with his toes!

So it turns out they were actually planning something, and I'm stuck here speculating about conspiracy theories.

Spending too much time with these ancient people really makes my brain start to go haywire.

Gu Xingzhao grabbed the table and chairs on the ground and left without looking back, afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would be unable to resist striking a few lightning bolts to express her dramatic mood.

Liu Xiangbai was physically and mentally exhausted, but the thought of seeing his wife and daughter soon made it difficult for him to fall asleep. Soon, the eye mask detected the wearer's insomnia and began to release sleep waves.

He drifted into darkness, but after a short while, he heard a little girl calling for her mother. He opened his eyes and sat up, only to find himself in a small courtyard.

In the courtyard, a young woman and her daughter were tidying up the herbs that had been drying during the day. A familiar face came into view, and this grown man burst into tears, calling out to his wife, "Madam."

His voice trembled, afraid that shouting too loudly would wake him from this beautiful dream.

When Madam Liu heard her husband's voice, she thought it was a hallucination. But when she looked up, she saw that it really was her husband who had been exiled from the city for a month. Her eyes suddenly turned red, and she covered her mouth and nose, sobbing uncontrollably.

The little girl ran over, threw herself into her father's arms, and burst into tears, crying, "Daddy!"

Liu Xiangbai's emotions, which had been suppressed for a month, were released at this moment. He embraced his wife and daughter, and the family of three was reunited in his dream.

He sat down in the house and told his wife and daughter everything that had happened in the past month. Even though he knew it was just a dream, he still patiently answered every question from his wife and daughter.

Upon hearing that the Lu family's spirits had indeed appeared, Madam Liu was astonished. "I've heard many rumors about the Lu family lately, and I thought they were just hearsay. I never imagined they were true!"

Liu Xiangbai nodded, took his wife's hand and held it, "This deity has been very kind to our Liu family. It is also thanks to this deity that I was able to meet you in my dream today."

"The gods are kind-hearted." Madam Liu said, tears welling in her eyes. "I will go and buy some incense and offerings tomorrow."

Liu Xiangbai felt sorry for his wife, and he could guess some of the family's situation. "When the house was raided, all the valuables were taken away. Where would you have any money now? You can still afford incense, but forget about offerings."

Although he was grateful to the gods, he did not want to put his wife in a difficult position.

Madam Liu shook her head with tears in her eyes, "My father and mother secretly sent a lot of silver. Although it's not as abundant as before, it's enough for my daughter and me."

What she didn't say was that shortly after her husband left, her daughter fell ill. Penniless and desperate, she went to her parents' home, only to be turned away.

The money was sent by her family to prevent her from coming to their house again and causing a scene at the gate. Along with the money was a letter severing ties. After accepting the money, she would have no further contact with her family.

Liu Xiangbai's hand tightened. His wife had many sisters, and her parents were both opportunistic and self-serving people. He had known their nature since he proposed to her. Now that the Liu family was in trouble, they were trying to avoid him, so how could they possibly send his wife money?
